"There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" asserts that they are the only true rulers of The North and implies that Westeros itself is doomed without the Starks."Winter is coming" is a reminder that despite all the terrible things happening in Westeros, the worst is yet to come.The deepest depths of the crypts have not been detailed as of yet, and are the stuff of some legend (including the rumor that a Targaryen dragon once found its way down there and left a nest of eggs). Traditionally it's just for the lords and kings, but Ned Stark took to entombing his brother and sister as well.

Ancient Tomb: The Crypt of Winterfell are catacombs under the castle in which the kings and lords of Stark are entombed and their likenesses set in stone.The current greatsword is a relatively young weapon (~400 years old), though the Starks of Winterfell always have had a legendary tradition of a sword by the name of Ice since the Age of Heroes, from which the current weapon was named. It was melted down and turned into smaller swords after Eddard's death. Ancestral Weapon: Ice, a five-foot-long greatsword made of Valyrian steel.A Storm Is Coming: Their infamous motto "Winter is Coming" is both a Badass Boast and a warning for harder times to come.Even most of the Riverlands make the decision to secede from the Iron Throne along with the North, with Robb leading them. 100% Adoration Rating: The Starks, Ned and Robb in particular, have this type of reputation in the North.
